The court also disregarded the statements of witnesses in the court, as most of the witnesses were employees of Kalinger TV and are biased. The DMK Family broke down as the the judge declared his verdict.

“Considering the magnitude of the crime and the fact that many of the witnesses are employees of Kalaignar TV, there is every apprehension that the witnesses may be influenced, if the accused are released on bail.”
